1. Blessed is he that wisely doththe poor man's case consider;For when the time of trouble is,the Lord will him deliver.
2. God will him keep, yea, save alive;on earth he bless'd shall live;And to his enemies' desirethou wilt him not up give.
3. God will give strength when he on bedof languishing doth mourn;And in his sickness sore, O Lord,thou all his bed wilt turn.
4. I said, O Lord, do thou extendthy mercy unto me;O do thou heal my soul; for why?I have offended thee.
5. Those that to me are enemies,of me do evil say,When shall he die, that so his namemay perish quite away?
